The newer drives are definitely louder than the two older drives still installed, but about as loud as one of the replaced drives. The PATA drives are from different manufacturers. The older PATA drives took 3:56 and 6:39 to complete. The new drives completed the scan in 3:32 and 3:36 (minutes:seconds). To test the new drives, I virus scanned an 800 MB data disk, once in each of the four drives. I set the old drives aside for later reuse if needed elsewhere. I bought two of these SATA drives to replace the two PATA drives sharing the same data cable. Overall Review: One of my four older PATA CD/DVD drives started to get stuck halfway open when the drive tray was ejected. The drive is almost silent when playing an audio CD (system fan noise was louder) as the disk did not need to spin at full speed for realtime audio playback. But I have heard worse, this is just typical of high speed drives. Noticable drive noise when reading a data disk when full spun up at high speed.
